This bill, titled the Rapid Expulsion of Migrant Offenders who Violate and Evade (REMOVE) Act , seeks to dramatically speed up the process of removing certain aliens from the United States. It amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to require the Attorney General to commence removal proceedings as promptly as possible after a Notice to Appear is served. For aliens convicted of an offense making them deportable, proceedings must begin as expeditiously as possible following their conviction. The most significant provision mandates that, regardless of other laws, the Attorney General must ensure all immigration court proceedings for these aliens are completed within 15 days of their commencement. This measure aims to ensure the timely completion of all removal proceedings, particularly for those with criminal convictions.
